In Visual Studio 2010, I have a XAML screen with a textbox defined like this:
< TextBox Name="txtBalanceOutstanding"
Grid.Row="9" Grid.Column="1" Grid.ColumnSpan="1" Height="23"
HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" Margin="0,0,100,0"
IsReadOnly="True" FontWeight="Bold" Focusable="False" VerticalContentAlignment="Center" >
< /TextBox >
When I change it to this (adding in the MultiBinding):
<TextBox Name="txtBalanceOutstanding"
Grid.Row="9" Grid.Column="1" Grid.ColumnSpan="1" Height="23"
HorizontalAlignment="Stretch" Margin="0,0,100,0"
IsReadOnly="True" FontWeight="Bold" Focusable="False" VerticalContentAlignment="Center">
<MultiBinding Converter="{StaticResource OutstandingBalanceConverter}">
<Binding ElementName="txtDepositTotal" Path="Text"></Binding>
<Binding ElementName="txtDep_Amount" Path="Text"></Binding>
</MultiBinding>
</TextBox>
The screen designer shows an unhandled exception error has occurred:

Any idea what I'm doing wrong?
